Larry’s Log

This past week I’ve had a couple of interviews for jobs, a couple of folks asking for my resume, a proposal for some work tentatively accepted with refinement of the scope beginning and my oldest son and his girl-friend down for the weekend for a long overdue visit. In about an hour I’m heading out [...]

When I first started the Atkins diet I would walk into a fast food restaurant, order a sandwich and throw away the bread. This seemed like an awful waste to me. I started ordering my sandwiches and asking them to hold the bread. I got no odd looks, just a plastic bowl from Wendy’s and [...]

Judge Roy Moore, the Chief Justice of the Alabama State Supreme Court had a monument of the Ten Commandments installed in the court building of Montgomery in 2001. A federal judge told him he had to remove it because it violated the seperation of state. Judge Moore disagreed and refused to have it removed. Last [...]

A variation of the Windows Sobig virus hammered my e-mail yesterday. Time after time I was interrupted from working on my computer by NAV alerting me to another e-mail being received infected with this bug. I quit counting after eighteen. Folks, anti-virus software is a necessity if you are running a Windows OS.

Dan over at Flutterby is implementing trackback, finally. I’m really glad to see this. He has a nice community going on over there with a lot of his users having their own weblog. This is going to make the interaction between those weblogs a lot more apparent.

I’ve been on the Atkins Diet for a little over four weeks and I’ve lost 11 pounds. I knew the diet worked before trying it because I watched several co-workers where I use to work just melt away their weight on this diet. For the most part they kept it off for over a year. [...]

The lights went out in the Northeast today. This doesn’t appear to be the job of terrorist or anything, just an overloaded circuit, I’m guessing. Sort of like what happened in ‘65.
I’m not reporting this here so that you will know about it because there isn’t a chance that anyone has not heard about it. [...]

Ask Mike a question and he’ll give you an answer. I don’t think he’s warranting the accuracy of the answers, though. Fair enough, he’s just curious as to the questions he’ll get. I am too.
Here’s a question for you, Mike. Is David Fowler Copeland going to have to serve any jail time once everything is [...]

Yesterday was a full day. I spent the morning hauling five kids around in my pickup truck (extended cab, it was crowded but everyone had a seat) looking for kid necissities, you know, Yu-Gi-Oh cards, PS2 games, comic books, that kind of stuff. It was my youngest son and four of his friends. I managed [...]

It appears that Jonathon is back.

Just a cute picture I saw on an online forum.

Just in case you’re interested there is a drink I’ve been making for my wife that she is fond of. This is a smoothy sort of drink made with orange Jell-O®. You might like it as well.

1 0.3 Oz. Pkg Suger-free Orange Jell-O®
2 egg whites
1 tsp Orange Extract
1 tsp grated lemon rind
2 pkgs Sweet-n-Low®
4 fresh [...]

Gerri and I went to see the Dixie Chicks in concert at Phillips Arena last night. I’m not too good at reviewing concerts so I’ll just say that the show was extremely enjoyable. I was anxious to see how they were received after the mess Natalie stirred up several months ago. While there were some [...]
